instructors at the Atlanta Police Training Unit, it’s necessary for recruits G. R. Stubblefield

on, to talk to Lt. A. J. Ferguson (r), who is an instructor who stands 6’10”. Stubblefield, s’B”,
and Bowers, 5’5” began their training in July and will hopefully graduate the last of August
of this year. (UPI)

try-wide flue-cured tobacco
marketing committee Wednes
day to increase the selling time
and the amount of tobacco that
can be sold each day by Geor
gia farmers.
“It has been reported to me
that the sale of out-of-state to
bacco on some Georgia markets
has slowed down the sale of
Georgia tobacco on these mar
kets,” Dean said in a wire to
J. Frank Bryant, chairman of
the Georgia Senate Tobacco
Committee.
Dean urged the committee to
be sympathetic to the needs of
the Georgia farmers saying
they had “life and death” con
trol over operation of the mar-
kets.
Agriculture C ommissioner
Tommy Irvin also came to the
defense of the Georgia tobacco
farmers having trouble finding
warehouse space for their prod
uct.
“As far as I’m concerned, the
license we issue tobacco ware
housemen to do business in
Georgia is a permit to serve
the Georgia tobacco farmer,”
he said, “and I intend to see
that this permit is not abused.”
Irvin said he would not allow
tobacco wholesalers to load
their floors with leaf from the
Carolinas at the expense of
Georgia farmers.
Ft. Valley planning
scholarship pairing
FORT VALLEY, Ga. (UPI)-
The president of Fort Valley
State College, the subject of a
desegregation plan prepared by
the State Board of Regents,
said enough money is expected
to be available to provide schol
arships this fall for 10 black stu
dents.
Dr. Cleveland Pettigrew, pres
ident of Fort Valley, said the
scholarship program initially
was intended only for white stu
dents, but has been expanded to
a method pairing white students
with blacks, to increase the
white enrollment at the pr edomi
nantely black school.
The scholarship program, en
tirely privately funded, is
part of a desegregation plan for
the school drawn up by the Re
gents in response to a March
court order by Judge Wilbur
Owens of the U. S. District
Court in Macon.
A similar scholarship plan for
minority students at each of the
state’s 30 colleges and universi
ties is included in a systemwide
desegregation plan filed with the
U.S. Department of Health, Ed
ucation and Welfare.
Pettigrew said Tuesday he
didn’t think “we will have to
back down" from the projected
white enrollment this fall of 15

white undergraduate students
and 20 white graduate students.
Last year the school had only
one white undergraduate stu
dent and 15 white graduate stu
dents among an enrollment of
2,300.
As the school enters the sec
ond academic year with the de
segregation case still in court,
Pettigrew said, “hopefully
there’s an air let’s wait and
see, with a flavor of optimism
about it. That’s about all that
anyone could say with any de
gree of credence.”
